A DspIorab,e state Of Affairs.

Weekly PanOlian: We know
little OF the truth of the charges
brought by Gambrell against Hamil-
ton, but it is a deplora6le state of af-
fairs when men in public life shoot
down in cold blood the editors of fear
less journals because, forsooth, they
call in question their fitness to Of
fees to which they aspire. If the
killing was such as the evidence be-
fore the coroner's jury indicates, it
was cold blooded assassination, and
the full penalty of the law ought to
be melted out to its perpetrators,

men Of high rank in State affairs.

IsPBCIAL TO TEE ErrrAL.I

JACKSON, Mss, May 14.-Every
strong man has his evils-evcry man
of vigor and character has opponents
who pursue him as relentlessly as he
is determined. This, it is generally
agreed here is the Col. Hamilton
case. He was successful politician
and has been a remarkably success
tul business man. The State, the
people and the Democratic party,
leading Democrats assert, are in
debted to him in measure that no
political preferment would repay.
He has been pursued relentlessly by
the Prohibitionists, because being a
Democrat, he strangely and per-
sistently rebuked ianaticism.
Young Gambrell was a fanatic on
the temperance question, and he was
a fearless exponent of the truth as
he believed it, but it is thought by
many that his feelings carried him
too far, and that he invited by his
excess of speech deadly attack by
Col Hamilton or some one of his
friends. But the truth of the sad
affair will be made plain on Monday.
Then we shall learn whether the
death of the brave young editor was
the consumation of a deliberately
planned assassination; whether it
was an attempt to obstruct free
speech and restrain the freedom of
the press. Gambrell was reformer.
Hamilton was bourbon politician.
They could never agree, Gambrell
tearlessly exposed what is known as
the peniteDtiary ring, and to silence
him he had to be put out of the way.
Mondays investigation will prove
the facts, which so far are against
Hamilton and his friends, who are
now in Jail, on the charge of being
his accessories. One of them is
member of the penitentiary ring,
another penitentiary emyloye, the
third is an ex-saloon keeper aud the
fourth the city marshal. One of
these confessed that Gambrell had
been Swallowed for several days, and
this is generally accepted as fair evil
dence that there was a plot to get
away" with the young editor.

The Lesson Of A.,

Leland Record. Mr.. Gambrel
was a young man, fluent, forciblt
writer, and not afraid to speak his
opinion on any subject. He had been
around the seat of government Ions
enough to find out some of the
chicanery and wire working of those
who had for long term of years sub
sisted off the people and public mon
eys Of tne State. He was not afraid
to give publicity to such charges as
he thought to be true, and the parties
accused had never been able to prove
them false, or, at least, had never
done so, to the satisfaction of the
people of the State. 1t seems that
they were of the opinion that the
easier and shorter course would be
to put an effectual quietus on the
party making these charges, rather
than to discuss them properly and
let the people have all the evidences
for and against. Our State govern
ment presents not altogether a cred
liable appearance, compared to what
it has since the days of reconstruc-
ton. and for citizen to be shot down
for finding some of the shortcomings
OF our high officers and those living
off .the State, and making them
known to the public, is a state of af-
fairs equal to the dark period from
1870 to 1875. But this condition of
things all comes from one set of men
remaining in Office and power until
they grow to think that all offices
and places of profit belong to them.
Just such reasons and occurrences
as this is why we are in favor of rota-
ton in office. 1t is right, in princi-
pie, at least, at the expiration of each
term Of office, for the incumbent to
pass over all the books to new man,
and let everything be made public, at
least that often. But it is growing
dangerous for a man to express even
these views on every occasion, for
after man has been in a position for
eight or ten years, he begins to think
that it is an assault on his private
character for any one to attempt to
oppose him in reelection or to make
known any Of the affairs pertaining
to his position. This applies to more
than the affairs OF the State. 1t comes
home to great many localities as we'll.
AS TO the manner of assault made
by either, we are not prepared to
state, and as a preliminary examina-
ton Of all the facts will be had soon
we await the result of same. Col.
Hamilton is a man who has been
compared to bunch of roses. He
has a fine personal address, and sell
dom makes himself offensive to any
one. In fact, it is hard to find
person who speaks disparagingly of
him personally. He is man Of un-
bounded liberality, keen, quick
witted and full of energy. lie is
ever ready to aid in any public enter
prise, and has helped to develop in
1ustries in this State that without
him might for years have lain dor
mant.

The Dead Editor.

Roderick Dhu Gambrell was born
in the town of Chuckaluck, eastern
shore of Virginia, in the home of his
maternal grandmother, on December
q, 1865. While yet an infant his
parents brought him to Mississippi,
and his boyhood days were spent in
Wallerville, West Point, Oxford
and Canton. His mother, who was
devoted to him, gave him
his preparatory education and
then he was sent to the
Mississippi College at Clinton. He
then devoted himself to the printing
business, and at his fathers Office at
Clinton mastered the art preserva-
tive of arts" and became practical
printer. AT the early age Of seven
teen years he was made business
manager of the Baptist Record, pa
per published at Clinton and edited
by his father, The Rev. j. b. Gam
brell. About this time his father
and young Gambrells uncle,
j. II. Gambrell, brought out
a temperance paper called the
August, changed the name to the
Sioord and Shield and made Rode
rick editor. During the early part
of January, 1885, he moved the paper
from Clinton to Jackson, where he
met with a misfortune, his Office
burning up during the early part of
February. As soon as new material
could be obtained he resumed the
publication of his paper, conducting
it as temperance and reform jour
nal. Some two weeks after young
Gambrell located in Jackson his
father moved his paper, the Baptist
Record, there, and has published it
at Jackson ever since. The dead
editor leaves two brothers, aged 10,
and II years; four young sisters, his
mother and father to mourn his sud
den taking off. He was bright,
active and intelligent, and a firm
believer and earnest worker in the
cause OF temperance.

WHAT THE STATE PRESS say



Grenada Sentinel: This unfortu-
nate difficulty originated on ac
count of an Infamous and libellous
article which appeared in the S,oord
and Shield a few weeks since. of
which R. D. Gambrell was the
editor, rejecting on Col. Hamilton s
private and public character; and it
was the general talk on the street
and in private circles, and many
wondered at the patience and for
bearance with which Col. Hamilton
bore it, az this same paper had pre-
Viously said many severe and disrep-
utable things about him, esq ecialiy
during the prohibition campaign last
summer. This same rabid journal
had previously made unwarrantablo
attacks upon Gov. Lowry and other
State officials, not even sparing pri-
Vate parties who did not coincide
with him in his views of public
policy, on the whisky question. Col.
Hamilton says that Gambrell fred

carriage or barouohe, when he ( Ham

Gambrell, firing at the same time.
with the result which will be seen
elsewhere. Some of Gambrells
friends tried to create the impression
that others fred in the melee, in
favor of Hamilton, by preconcerted
purpose, There is not a. man on

imputation is false, for a drawer,

The Todhunter sale.

The Baker City Democrat of May
21st says:
A deed was fled for record with
County Clerk E. Fl. Mix on May Il,
1887, In which w. b. Todhunter
deeds to Z. G. Singletary and others
200,0j0 acres of land at an esti-
mated value of 81 per acre, $780,
900; 43 COO head of cattle at an es-
timation of $40 per head, S860,000;
1900 head of horses, estimated
value Of $50 per head, SO 900; also
all interest in California & Oregon
Land Company, also, all interest In
the Oregon Central Wagon Road
Company, besides lands in Nevada
and town property in Winnemucca,
New, having an estimated value
of 100000. The deed calls for
more property than any deed ever
recorded in Eastern Oregon, the
full estimate being $2,230,000.

The Trouble.

One of the main troubles in this
city is that there are too many bust
ness men trying to handle too many
lines Of goods. In order to cut the
throat of a rival, man who does
not handle certain goods will pur
chase one or two articles, sell them
at cost, and thus set the price. The
man who is carrying a big stock
must come down to the price to
keep his trade. Then he retaliates
by purchasing a few articles of the
stock carried by the other man, and
sells below cost The other man
after that has hard work to sell at a
profit. It Is a sorry. cut-throat game
all through, and this is how the
merchants complain OF hard times.
Merchants who cut each other S
threats all lose in the end. Build
up your own business and do not try
to pull down your neighbor's.

Fast Stages.

Yesterdays Enterprise contains
very interesting article on the
fast time made by the stages be-
tween Reno and Virginia City. The
famous ride of Jim Townsend, how
ever, 1t omits.
In 1896 Jim Townsend was run
ming race for $1,000 a side, and
was coming down the Gieger Grade
like the devil, when his off hind
wheel came off. He felt it going
but the pace was 50 rapid that
it didn't effect the speed. and pres
emily he saw the wheel rolling along
side the stage, and making good
time. First thing he knew this
wheel was Joined by another; it was
the mate that had got loose.
Most drivers would have quit
right there, but Jim was dead game,
and by moving the luggage all in
front he balanced the stage and
kept right on. Next thing he knew
the off front wheel got loose and
Joined the other two, all three now
rolling majestically abreast few
yards ahead of the stage. Jim
knew it wouldn't do to let the
wheels get in ahead, so he dashed
his steeds, and the stage rolled up
to International Hotel on one wheel,
which came off right in front Of the
